[Q] Shostock2 v1.1 Picture Frame Widget - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Firstly I'd like to thank shoman for this rom. Everything is running smooth as silk except for the picture frame widget. When the phone first boots, the frame cycles through the selected pictures. However, after a while they seem to get stuck. If I tap on the widget and cancel the selection, the slide show works for a bit and then goes static again.
Anyone else have this issue with Shostock2 or any other ICS from?

I'm having this issue as well. On the latest version of shoman's rom. Any ideas?

Just tried it. Cycled through 178 pics without a hiccup.
Maybe its an issue with picture format or SD card?

Hmm.. I don't think that is it. All pictures taken with stock camera and stored on internal storage. I'm still trying to play with different settings to see if I can find the cause. I thought it might be caused by locking the desktop with apex. But problem persists whether locked or unlocked.

Did i break something? Screen doesnt look good after DPI change

Hi,
I used a google app to change the dpi. i chooses 180 but it froze, so what i did was a recovery and restore from backup.
but since then i have a bad screen quality. I took a screenshot so you can see.it´s looks like a 8bit trying to display a 16 bit. You can clearly see this "degrade" on the icons top.
The screen does look ok, because i can display pictures or any type of content and it looks good. The problem is with some TWiz menu.
take a look at the "keypad" square. You can clearly see the lines there. It happens only there and on some menus, but mostly there.
I tried reinstalling the ROM with Odin, doing a wipe cache and factory reset and same results.
any thoughts?

[Q] Screen Stuttering

I was on the stock rooted rom for the last 3.16 RUU and I started having a screen stuttering appear when I change homescreens and when I'm in the app drawer the icons appear to move and the text appears to be a split second behind it and then they snap into place. I re-flashed the phone with one of the stock rooted roms based off of the latest OTA. I also updated the firmware and I'm S-OFF via DirtyRacun.
EDIT: Actually, it looks like it's having trouble refreshing or drawing the icons in the app drawer as they are fuzzy (like lines missing in the icons or a monitor refreshing) for a second and then come into focus.
First, does anyone have any idea why I would have this issue? If I reboot it goes away and works perfect, but after a little bit, it comes back. I checked the RAM and CPU and they seem fine with plenty of room left.
Second, could anyone recommend a solid ROM that is pretty much stock? I don't mind a few tweaks and such, I just want something really solid. Any good recommendations would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Can anyone help me out with some advice? Any ideas of what could be causing this or a ROM I should try to see if it fixes the problem?

Any correctly working stock messaging apps on CM 10.1 out there?????

Are there any stock CM 10.1 messaging apps out there that will correctly show a picture that has text attached? Any time I get a picture with text attached it comes up as a slideshow.....but when you click it the picture comes up and closes out before you can get a chance to see anything. I've tried the stock app on Slimbean, CM 10.1 Black, Xylon, and Carbon and they all do the same thing. I am in NO WAY interested in switching to a third party app ....just want to know if there is a stock version out there that works correctly. If not I'll just deal with it. Thanks
Always wondered the same. Hopefully someone chimes in on this. For now I just save the attachments and view em with quickpic.

Tap and hold for a little bit. Eventually, a menu should pop up. Then just tap on the "save picture" option, or however Cyanogenmod phrased it.

Dolphin Browser goes crazy!

Has anyone else had any issues with Dolphin? I tried using it to fill out my Sony registration and it absolutely went haywire.
It started out freezing and then it would unfreeze and move very glitchily for 5 seconds. Then finally the screen would go completely haywire and show nothing but white and light gray lines. It only affected the app itself, the actual nav bar was fine just the app screen was wonky as hell.
Has anyone else experienced this? I have tried clearing all app data, not that there was any cause that was the first time I opened it, and I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Nothing I did made it work.

I got 8.5.1 version only because I want to have flash and mine crashes like crazy but I believe it is totally Dolphin's fault. It crashes on my Droid RAZR HD as well... I've heard people had more luck with Firefox, which I had no time to play with yet so can't tell you. The solution to it - get something that will work for you. There are plenty browsers to choose from.

Adobe Flash Player was re-enabled in Dolphin Browser version 10.0.0, so I recommend you update. After updating, go into Dolphin's Settings > Web Content and set Flash Player to "Always On" (my preference) or "On Demand". I also recommend you have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (currently 11.1.115.69) installed. You can download it from Adobe's Archived Flash Player Versions web page. Search for the list titled "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives" to find and download it to your device and install it. You can ignore that it says "for Android 4.0", it will also run on Android 4.1.x. You can test that Flash Player is working in Dolphin by going to Adobe's Find Version web page.
I have both Dolphin and Dolphin Beta in latest version, it is the best browser that I can use on my TXZ/XZ. I like mozilla but I can't use FF or FF Beta on my devices, always crash and can't load a page, it's stuck loading and nothing happens!
I believe the v.10 looks nice but... I still prefer to use 8.5.1... more stable than 10 to me. At least when watching South Park during commercials it freezes. V10 is not a good product.

check out Mikan Broswer from Cythia Project.
a browser that allow you to do a lot of customization.
i tried stock broswer, chrome, dolphin, dolphin HD, firefox, and many other browser and Mikan gives me the best user experience.
although you might need to setup all the short-cuts and buttons yourself in the beginning.
some features i liked (needed).
1. open offline "html" files
2. decided URL bar to shown at top or bottom, and add buttons on this bar
3. decided tab bar to shown at top or bottom, and add buttons on this bar
4. set font size of the browser UI, make it finger friendly, or even big thumb friendly
5. open URL directly using quick control.
6. add short-cut to other apps in browser (save click needed to move from browser-home-apps)
7. change web-site text size on the go.
8. invert rending - (avoiding the glare of a while background)
let me know your comment if you decided to try this out.

I'm with you there with 8.5.1 looking better, it also didn't have a damn Hot Apps icon.
Either way I tried 10.0.0, 10.0.1, and 8.5.1 and they all acted the same way. I really hate this. Dolphin is my preferred browser mainly because of how the tabs work, it has added Flash back, there are plugins (although I would like a browser with quite a few more plugins), the speed dial (because the icons are small, those big ass shortcut like FF has icons drive me insane), being able to have categories in Bookmarks, and a few other odds and ends. I haven't found one that really fits yet, I can do without plugins but the others are a must have for me.

Slow response to touch?

Has anyone else experienced an issue with Themer where you select the drawer icon or the games icon, etc and it either takes 5 seconds to respond or it takes a second tap (or third) to make it finally appear? In fact, none of the "widgets" respond. Double tapping will immediately bring up the menu, so it's responding to that. It seems as if the widgets stop responding after awhile. Other times, it might take a tap and then another tap a few seconds later for the widgets to respond.
I've also had it where it just doesn't respond at all. A reboot doesn't seem to help. But, if I change themes, then it appears to fix the issue for about a day.
I've uninstalled Themer and reinistalled it and that seems to help for a day or two, but then the problem persists.
I also notice it appears to happen more frequently if I modify a theme and add my own widgets.
Not sure what the issue is and I do understand it's beta. I love this app and hopefully, this issue can get fixed?
I am running it on an unlocked and rooted RAZR HD running the Nexesque 3.6 ROM.
Thanks!
Yep getting same error here too using latest version and again it is frustrating,removing all themer files and uninstalling does not cure it.I also have another error here see attached,when this happens I get the old ghost image of an earlier version,again reinstall/reboot does not clear it
updated to latest version and now the problem is not there anymore,try updating your version now m8 see if it corrects for you
the only time I had such an issue was when my status bar was visible. It seems that it pushed hotspots down a bit so they did not align properly with icons. As soon as I've hidden the status bar all was OK again...

After posting my find, that's what I had decided. I went ahead and uninstalled Themer and reinistalled it going back to defaults.
There still was a lag sometimes. With the latest update, it doesn't seem as bad. At least, I haven't had an issue where it completely hangs and freezes.
This is still my daily homescreen driver. Sticking with it.
Well, upon further review, the lag between selecting a widget and it actually responding has surfaced again with the latest update.
I hope this can be rectified soon. It's a little aggravating to select say the "games" widget and then having to wait 5 seconds or else, hitting it multiple times before it responds.
Not sure what the issue is. Wish I could be more helpful, but that's all I can say.
Thanks!

Hi iBolski,
Does using the 'clean install' method work for you?
As in: uninstalling Themer, deleting the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder, reinstalling Themer.
What device/Android version/ROM are you running?

Yes, I've done that and it seems to help for a day or so and then it comes back.
I'm running Themer on a DROID RAZR HD, unlocked bootloader and rooted, running Nexesque ROM v3.6 which is running on Android 4.1.2. Nova Launcher is the installed launcher in the ROM.

and it's doing it again,when I click on widgets I get a white screen and it takes around 15 seconds to list the widgets.Fresh install delete everything and still the same,this is on the galaxy s4 running kitkat
and now I keep getting the there is a previous crash data everytime I try to change anything must have sent at least ten crash reports today,from previous crashes,seems like themer has hung on to the problems somewhere,I suspect it is in each theme I had errors with regarding the earlier problems.Even after a full delete and reinstall
Razr HD same issue with lag
I really love this app and would like to use it but I am having the same extreme lag issues. The funny part is that it takes a couple of days to show up like other people have said. It gets so bad it makes the phone almost unusable. I have to revert back to my standard homescreen. On my "standard" setup I have very little lag and only once in a while. I used quotes because I am running a Razr HD, rooted but locked BL, safestrap with Batakang ROM. ICS 4.1.1
Is it because we are on custom ROM's?

Hi,
Please try this method, as it should help fix the issue:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
If you still have lag issues, let us know!
